Discover relevant people to your web browsing with Others Online, a Firefox add-on. Connect with like-minded individuals and expand your network easily.
The key features of Others Online are the following: it offers identity protection by only requiring a username and password to use the service, without ever revealing personally identifiable information. Also, it brokers all communications so that your personal IM and email address remain private. The software even allows you to "block" users to stop seeing each other's profiles and communication at any time.
Others Online also has a Favorites list that enables you to add and keep track of favorite users, regardless of matching interests, as well as tabs to help you find people with shared interests globally and locally, within 50 miles of you. In the near future, they plan to add tabs that will show you people within your favorite online communities, such as MySpace, Bebo, LiveJournal, etc.
One of the best things about Others Online is that when you're signed in, others can see you, but only when your interests match. When you sign out, you're "offline," and the toolbar stops all interactions with the software's server.
To use Others Online, all you need is Firefox. It's really easy to use and can help you connect with people who share your interests.
